Wangfu little dumb wife

Chapter 33 Bad news

Wen Wan bought a crisp and sweet-scented osmanthus cake from a pastry shop called "Qinxiangyuan", and wrapped them in oiled paper.

The umbrella stood outside the shop door, and the raindrops flowed down the top of the umbrella, leaving a small spot of water stain on the bluestone floor.

It was still raining outside at this time, and the ground was covered with a layer of water, which was wet.

Carrying snacks in one hand and an umbrella in the other, she walked towards the study not far ahead.

Song Wei was still picking out ink sticks and paper in his study.

……

Lu Yanqing chased away the young men who were chattering in his ears just now, stood by the window and looked out, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared in his sight.

The woman was wearing a light blue spring shirt. Although the material was not high-quality, it couldn't stand up to her delicate figure. Through the rain and fog, the face under the oil-paper umbrella looked more and more hazy.

There wasn't much passenger traffic in the small town, and the continuous rain made many people close their doors and stay indoors, unwilling to come out.

On the quiet street, she walked slowly, and the oil-paper umbrella above her head was like a blooming white camellia, which was eye-catching.

Lu Yanqing narrowed his eyes, turned and walked downstairs.

……

Arriving at the door of the study, Wen Wan put away the umbrella, and gently shook off the raindrops on it, and saw a young man about twelve or thirteen years old in rich clothes coming towards this side.

He didn't hold an umbrella and walked in a hurry.

Without any hesitation, Wen Wan immediately turned and went into the bunk, took Song Wei's hand and walked out.

In the sudden premonition, this young man will let his subordinates take her away forcibly later.

Wen Wan doesn't know this person, but since her premonition is bad, then the other party must not be a good person. The couple are just ordinary ordinary people. They can't afford to offend these dignitaries, so they can only hide.

Song Wei had just picked out the paper and ink, and before he paid, he was dragged out by Wen Wan, with a puzzled look on his face, "What happened?"

The gentle little palm clenched his wrist tightly to prevent him from turning it back. The other hand was carrying the wrapped snacks, which was inconvenient, so she could only point to the oiled paper umbrella standing on the door panel with her eyes, in order to let him He picked it up.

Song Wei bent down, picked up the oil-paper umbrella and opened it.

Wen Wan didn't intend to stay and explain to him, she just pulled the man towards the direction opposite to that young man.

Lu Yanqing came over in the rain, but missed. He turned his head to look at the couple who had gone away, and frowned fiercely.

If he didn't think that woman looked familiar, he wouldn't have come all the way to look for her in the rain, but let her run away unexpectedly!
-

After leaving this street and entering a small alley that can shelter from the rain, Wen Wan stopped.

Glancing at Song Wei next to him, because he was walking in a hurry just now, he was afraid that she would get caught in the rain, so most of the umbrella covered her head, and now her left shoulder was already wet.

Wen Wan hurriedly wiped him with her sleeve.

Song Wei grabbed her hand and said no.

Wen Wan was worried that he would get sick from the rain.

Song Wei smiled and said, "My body is strong, not so fragile."

After speaking, thinking of her unusual behavior just now, she couldn't help asking: "Why did you suddenly drag me away?"

She smiled softly and shyly, and lied that she thought the things in that shop were too expensive, so she could buy them in another shop.

"The truth?" Song Wei looked at her with a faint smile, the charm of a mature man in that smile.

Even though they share the same bed every night, Wen Wan still blushes and her heart beats when she sees it.

Seeing his young wife's embarrassment, Song Wei's eyes became more smiling, and he didn't pursue her "failure" anymore. He really changed to another shop to buy cheaper ink and paper, and then the couple went to the town school to visit Song Yuanbao together.

-

Lu Yanqing returned to the private room and quickly ordered the servant to boil hot water for a bath.

As soon as he took off his wet clothes and soaked in the bathtub, he heard one of the people who had been chased away by him come back, opened the door and anxiously said to the person behind the screen: "Young Lord, the mine has completely collapsed. The workers in the cave were all buried."

Lu Yanqing was a second-generation ancestor who walked sideways in the capital. Although he had had human lives on his hands, they were all lowly-born slaves. This was the first time he had encountered such a large-scale death.

After all, Lord Lu Xiaohou is only 12 years old, and his experience has destined him not to be able to bear the burden of an adult.

So just after hearing what Cheng Fei said, his complexion turned pale.

Cheng Fei didn't hear a response for a long time, and he was even more flustered, and hurriedly asked: "Young Master, what should we do now?"

Lu Yanqing took a deep breath, and asked with heavy eyes, "How many people died?"

Cheng Fei shook his head, "I came here immediately, I don't know yet."

Lu Yanqing thought for a while, and said with a stern expression: "But anyone who is confirmed to be buried will be crossed out from the list, and a new list will be created, leaving only the names of the living."

Cheng Fei was so frightened that his legs went limp, "Young Master, do you want to have a death sentence?"

Lu Yanqing sneered, "As long as I don't admit it, those who died didn't work under my hands, and their deaths have nothing to do with me."

"Then what if they want to sue the government..."

"If the magistrate and county magistrate of Ningzhou dare to take care of this matter, just wait for the black yarn to be picked!"

Cheng Fei thought about it carefully, and felt that Master Xiaohou was right.

The Dahuanshan Coal Mine itself is in violation of the regulations. If the prefect of Ningzhou and the magistrate of Pingjiang County dare to accept this case, the imperial court will definitely hold them accountable first. It's not for walking around.

-

It was raining and the road was muddy and slippery.

It was already evening when Song Wei and his wife returned home from the town, and instead of stopping the rain, it rained even harder.

Although they both wore coir raincoats while riding the bullock cart, the two of them were still half wet, and went back to the house to change clothes as soon as they entered the door.

Song Fang finished dinner and was setting the dishes in the kitchen.

The closed courtyard door was suddenly slapped, and the sound was even more hurried under the rain.

On Westinghouse's side, Song Wei is still changing clothes.

Seeing that no one came out to answer the door, Wen Wan opened her umbrella and ran over. When she opened the door, she saw that the person standing outside was her father, and she was stunned.

Father Wen was drenched, covered in yellow mud from head to toe, and fell down countless times along the way, looking more and more embarrassed.

Wen Wan hurriedly pulled her father away, if there's anything to do, take a hot bath and change clothes first.

Father Wen stood still, his feet seemed to weigh a thousand catties, his eyes were extremely scarlet, and his face was gloomy.

"Wanniang, I'm sorry, Dad." He rubbed his face, choked up and said, "I took the initiative to find your father-in-law's mine, but I didn't expect that the coal mine was illegal. There is no such thing as a wage of fifty cents a day.

Those grandchildren don't treat us as human beings at all. If anyone is slow in their work, they will be served with a whip. Your father-in-law and I are both elderly people. How can we stand such a day and night work? Yesterday I discussed it with him at night, and planned to find an opportunity to escape secretly, but I didn't expect that there would be an accident in the mine early this morning, your father-in-law..."

Wen Wan's face changed drastically, and she grabbed Father Wen's sleeve tightly, signaling him to finish speaking.

"The mine collapsed, your father-in-law... didn't come out."

As soon as Father Wen finished speaking, there was a "clang" sound. At some point, Mrs. Song, who was standing behind with a basin of water, softened her hand, and the basin fell to the ground.
